Software Engineer Interview Experience - California

June 9, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Very poorly run and had to reschedule initially.

Interview consisted of 6 total rounds with an initial OA. The rounds consisted of:

  • An initial chat with the hiring manager
  • 3 technicals consisting of practical programming, DSA, and system design
  • Leadership rounds

Made it past the technicals and was ghosted after scheduling the final two interviews and then sent a generic rejection email.

Questions

Practical coding, DSA, and system design.
